Tera noticed how Nora was addicted to the gadget in her hand. Even though Tera only let Nora be unsupervised for a few days because she had to hide from Sebastian's constant pressure. But those few days proved to be enough to change Sebastian's little girl's habits. Nora, who was used to having a rule of watching online videos for no more than half an hour, was now ignoring all of Tera's advice.Nora disregarded all the advice that Tera had given her half an hour ago, and she continued to be engrossed in all the videos she was watching, starting from cartoons to children's movies. She consumed all of them, forgetting about her fatigue and hunger that must have already been affecting her.Tera sighed in frustration, turning her face to the left, only to find Sebastian also busy with his gadget. He never let go of all the business and work on the device. Father and daughter were both addicted to gadgets. It truly was dangerous!The woman grumbled in annoyance as she sat down."Just let N
It was past dinner time and Tera hadn't returned to the room yet. Sebastian anxiously glanced at his watch, trying to reach Tera but getting no response. Her calls were being redirected because she was on another call.Nora, sitting beside Sebastian, pouted with teary eyes. She had been whining to be fed by Auntie Tera, but Tera hadn't come back. Where could she have been for the past two hours?Sebastian, feeling restless, instructed two guards to search the entire hotel for Tera, but there was still no sign of her."Daddy, Ti Teya!" Nora whined."Let Daddy feed Nora first, and when Auntie comes back, Nora can ask her for more bites!""No! Daddy's bites are big. I want Ti Teya's bites!""Daddy's bites will be small, my dear. Come on...""No!" the spoiled child yelled.Sebastian, struggling to keep his patience, looked at his watch again and called Wilson."Found her yet?" Sebastian asked without wasting time."Not yet, boss. They're still searching the hotel, but Tera is nowhere to be
The atmosphere at the dining table was only filled with the clinking of plates, spoons, and forks. There was no conversation. No small talk between the two adults sitting with a toddler. They both had a bad mood, except for Nora who remained cheerful while watching her favorite cartoons on her gadget. The child, who had been sick all week, was now refreshed and had regained her normal appetite. Her pale face had a beautiful rosy glow, and she never stopped babbling except when she was chewing.Nora devoured her favorite lu rou fan or beef braised rice bowl. They were having dinner at a fine dining Chinese restaurant in London. It was a special treat after spending the whole day in meetings. They had returned to London after spending three days and two nights at Disneyland Paris, and resumed their schedule as planned.Sebastian and Tim had successfully had a long discussion with their business partners at Trust Group regarding future business plans. The meeting took place at one of the
After hearing Sebastian's explanation, Tera quickly packed all their belongings in the suite room. Sofia, who was efficient, managed to finish packing her own belongings quickly, followed by packing Nora's extensive belongings as well as Tera's. Meanwhile, Tera focused on packing all of Sebastian's belongings because he only allowed Tera to touch his things. Not just clothes, but also work tools and documents.Sebastian, who was distressed, sat in the living room, continuously communicating with Sari, who was taking care of Mrs Herlinda outside the handling room. He was almost voiceless due to the sadness weighing heavily on him. Sebastian looked very fragile and panicked. He didn't even think about Nora, who sat confused beside him."Daddy, Granny?""She's okay. Don't worry."Although she only heard it from the room, Tera could sense that Sebastian's voice was full of doubt. He was definitely lying in front of his daughter, who was worried about her grandmother's condition. But Sebast
"No!""You're so stubborn! Why do you always reject me!?""Boss, I've told you many times that I don't intend to get married anytime soon, especially not to a powerful man like you. I want a simple partner. Someone who lives a moderate life like people from my background, not the jet-set crowd like you. We're just not compatible! The way I see the world, your way, and various other fundamental things that make us different. It's just not possible, Boss! Please understand."Sebastian brushed his hair back. The man was so frustrated after receiving so many rejections from Tera, even when she was cornered, she still denied Sebastian's proposals. She was so stubborn that it drove Sebastian crazy and left him speechless for a moment.The only son of the Lim family turned around and turned his back to Tera, his voice soft as he asked, "What if I can't understand any of your thoughts?""You can, you just don't want to understand!""Yes, I don't want to understand all your worries and fears! I
Tera visited the children's play center in every mall around Central Jakarta, but unfortunately, she couldn't find Nora among the children playing there.From one mall to another, from one playground to another, and the result was still zero. Eventually, Tera and Sofia became frustrated and contacted the two bodyguards who were guarding Nora.Sofia sighed in annoyance when her call was rejected. However, she was determined not to give up and continued calling the bodyguards multiple times until she finally gave up. Lim's bodyguards were extremely disciplined in carrying out their master's orders. They would obey orders without questioning, and so Sofia had to be very careful when sneaking away from the penthouse during the bodyguards' lunch break. Luckily, Sofia managed to escape and meet Tera who was waiting below. It's no wonder that none of the guards guarding Nora wanted to answer their calls."Let's use a public telephone!" Tera suggested."Agreed!"As they were about to leave, T
Sebastian couldn't focus throughout the entire business meeting. The meeting, which was supposed to be held next week, was deliberately moved up from its original schedule because Sebastian had promised his mother that he would host a wedding party next week. Whoever the bride is, it doesn't matter for now; what's important is to calm down Sebastian's anxious mother due to her illness."Thank you for this agreement, Mr. Lim," said Vivia Wells, one of the Wells family's daughters who was representing the meeting. The Wells family borrowed a large sum of money from Trust Bank to save their struggling company. They were willing to use many family assets as collateral to save their business, which made Sebastian decide to agree to it."I hope your company returns to running normally like before, and if possible, even better and more prosperous, Miss," Sebastian replied.The beautiful and innocent Vivia Wells nodded in agreement. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look up at Sebastian.
The image of a melon squeezing the banana on its horn floated without a farewell when Sebastian was startled by a deafening sound. A sound that produced a pain that made his face numb. Sebastian flinched in surprise, his head thrown to the side, his eyes staring in disbelief, his steps and his whole body stiffened.A merciless slap hit Sebastian's face. Making the blood in his body boil like lightning.Sebastian turned to face the woman, the owner of the wet melon, who stared at him fiercely. The woman was hesitating, her face red, and her wet condition seemed to not bother her anger.Tera had just slapped him in front of Vivia!Not only Vivia, but also in front of Sebastian's ex-fiancée named Jane, Mrs. Cicile West, Wyne Kendall, even Sofia and the Lim family bodyguards. The worst part was that among them was Nora, who was hiding in Sofia's embrace. Her face and ears were covered, so she didn't see the slap directly.The reality not only made Sebastian's blood boil, but also overflowe
